Gayle King’s CBS News future revealed after months of speculation
NY Post
“CBS Mornings” star anchor Gayle King has inked a deal to remain at CBS News during a volatile period for the network, which is expected to get hit by layoffs in the coming weeks.
King’s decision to stay at CBS News lends some stability to the network, after longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent Anderson Cooper recently said he would be leaving the marquee show.
Meanwhile, King’s last-place morning show is expected to get an overhaul since her co-host Tony Dokoupil was elevated to anchor of the network’s “Evening News” program in January.
As previously reported by The Post, King’s current contract is up at the end of May and is worth between $13 million and $15 million. The terms of her deal could not immediately be learned, but King typically signs one-year deals.
It is also unclear if King took a pay cut, but her high salary had been a point of contention as her show’s ratings have slipped below 1.8 million in recent weeks, trailing behind NBC’s “Today” and ABC’s “Good Morning America,” which average around 3.2 million and 3.1 million, respectively.
